Maybe I didn't pay enough attention to the show, but I didn't notice any especially long commercial breaks? or at least longer than any other show on ESPN or WSCR. Maybe one of the 4 headed executive producer monster can confirm or deny this ugly claim.

SCIENTIFIC FACT: Commercial Breaks that play Kar for Kids jingles fool the human mind into thinking those breaks are 3 times longer than actual.

As someone who listens to the score from approximately 7 until about 5 every day (we're not allowed to stream, but I have a radio on my desk) the commercial breaks seemed like standard Score breaks. First 25 minutes or so without commercials, a 5 minute break, 10-15 minutes, one more 2 minute break, then finishing the hour.

And is there any proof that the Kars for Kids commercials cause more drive time accidents than texting?

Follow-up: It makes me wish bad things on people and gives me the urge to disintegrate my car in front of that outfit ... NOT endearing.
